Jim Croce

Been listening to a lot of his stuff lately, and coming away with a whole new appreciation for him. Sure, there’s the fun songs like Leroy Brown and You Don’t Mess Around with Jim, but he’s got so many other fantastic songs.
He’s got a way of making you feel exactly what he’s feeling when he’s singing. I’ve always been a big fan of his, but after “rediscovering” him, I’m drawn right back in. So sad that he’s gone; makes me wonder how far he would’ve gone in the music world.
RIP Jim…

 

I just pulled his stuff back up a couple of months ago. I discovered him as a kid in my dad’s vinyl collection. Croce and Prine have a lot in common, well told stories of the normal man. I know what I’m listening to tonight

 

The washer and dryer as you launder your kids’ clothes?

Must just be me.

 

I live the DINK life, I’ll stick with Croce and Prine thank you very much

 

So many true singer/songwriter muscians from that era...

 

Kinda hard to JonBenet Ramsey or Jackson 5 your way to a life of luxury without spawning a malleable star-to-be or two

 

Preach, sister!

You guys are showing your Age.

For stories you need Ray Stevens

 

Croce's Son is very good as well

 

We could go round and round on this

 

Was about to mention A. J. myself. I've enjoyed everything of his that my internet DJ plays of his. Haven't looked him up to listen to his albums yet, though. This is a good reminder to...

 

Why are they still called albums?

 

Because Vinyl is back in style. I was looking at the Tower site last night, and vinyl albums are going for nearly $50!

 

“Well she might be nasty she might be fat
But I never met a person who would tell her that
She's my big blonde bomber
My heavy handed Hackensack mama.”

 

“Don’t look Ethyl!”

 

But they still called them albums before vinyl was rediscovered.
